Product Information
Full details
The Portwest A120 PU Palm Glove is an essential tool for professionals in manufacturing, electronics, and precision assembly who require a balance between tactile sensitivity and hand protection. It offers superior abrasion resistance and dexterity due to its smooth PU palm-dipped coating and 13-gauge liner, ensuring that intricate tasks are completed with ease. While it provides excellent control and breathability, users should note that as an ANSI cut level A1 glove, it is intended for low-risk environments and is not suitable for handling extremely sharp materials or heavy-duty industrial cutting tasks.

FAQs
Are these gloves safe for painting applications?
Yes, because the A120 is silicone-free, it is safe to use in environments where silicone contamination could cause defects in paint or coating processes.
Can I touch a touchscreen while wearing these?
While the 13-gauge liner is thin, the PU coating does not feature specialized conductive material. Responsiveness may vary depending on your device.
How do I determine my size?
Measure the circumference of your hand around the knuckles. Portwest gloves generally follow standard industry sizing from XS to XXL.
Is this glove waterproof?
No, the palm is water-resistant, but the back of the hand is breathable and porous, meaning liquid will penetrate if submerged.
How often should I replace these gloves?
Replace immediately if you notice holes, thinning of the PU coating, or if the structural integrity of the knit liner is compromised.
Troubleshooting
Glove feels slippery while handling items
Check the palm for debris or excessive oil buildup; clean the surface with a damp cloth and mild detergent.
Glove material is pilling or tearing
Ensure the glove is not being used for tasks exceeding the ANSI A1 cut rating or high-friction contact with jagged metal.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Portwest A120 gloves, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme heat, as UV light can break down the synthetic materials over time. When selecting your size, refer to the available range (XS through XXL) for a proper fit; a glove that is too loose will compromise dexterity, while one that is too tight can cause hand fatigue. For cleaning, hand wash in lukewarm water with mild detergent and allow to air dry completely before the next use. Avoid using bleach or industrial solvents as these may degrade the PU palm coating.
